New Mexico’s Most Dangerous Prisons | Inside the State’s Deadliest Lockups

#newmexico #dangerous #jail

New Mexico’s prison system hides some of the most violent, corrupt, and poorly maintained facilities in the United States—and yet, it rarely makes national headlines. From the horrific 1980 riot at the Penitentiary of New Mexico to modern-day abuse scandals at Clayton, Hobbs, and Los Lunas, the dangers behind bars are as real today as ever.

In this deep-dive exposé, we uncover the dark truth about New Mexico’s most dangerous prisons:

🔹 Penitentiary of New Mexico ("Old Main") – Site of the deadliest prison riot in U.S. history
🔹 Central NM Correctional Facility (Los Lunas) – Coerced fights, gang violence, and staff misconduct
🔹 Clayton (Northeast NM Correctional) – “Beat teams,” racial abuse, and lawsuits galore
🔹 Lea County (Hobbs) – Extreme overcrowding, deadly brawls, and total breakdowns in control
🔹 Guadalupe County – Repeated deadly riots and zero external oversight
🔹 Western NM Correctional – Riots, sexual abuse cases, and inmate distrust at an all-time high

We also explore how chronic understaffing, outdated infrastructure, and lack of oversight are creating a powder keg across the state’s correctional facilities. Is real reform even possible?
